Predation (2025)

Predation is a visual cacophony of hunger; human, animal, and divine. Wolves snarl beside corpses, serpents coil through skeletal throats, and crows tear at the remnants of flesh. The scene feels both apocalyptic and cyclical, as though this feeding has always been happening, just beyond the frame of human conscience.

⤷ This painting examines the inherent violence of consumption, not only in the literal sense, but as a commentary on power, exploitation, and the myth of dominion. Each creature depicted here is both predator and prey, their bodies tangled in an impossible knot of survival. The human figures, already collapsing into decay, seem almost peaceful compared to the feral vitality surrounding them.

There’s a deliberate density to the composition, a suffocating layering that mirrors the moral chaos of the theme. No single form dominates; everything devours and is devoured. The wolves, the lion, the crows, even the snake; each echoes the instincts that humanity pretends to have transcended.

In The Damnation Project, Predation functions as a visceral summation of the natural order reversed. It challenges the viewer to confront appetite as a universal force—the dark pulse that unites saint, sinner, and beast alike.
